DIRT SERIES MOUNTAIN BIKE CAMP RETURNS TO FERNIE, BC Co-ed mountain bike camp set to inspire riders to develop skills, passion and confidence Fernie, BC: The Dirt Series by Rocky Mountain Bicycles returns to Fernie with a cutting edge co-ed mountain bike camp on August 29-30, 2009. The camp, in its ninth year, is open to 40 guys and girls who are looking to improve their skills and confidence on cross-country and downhill mountain bike trails, and is appropriate for beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders. This signature weekend runs on a two-day format with skill sessions in the mornings and instructional rides in the afternoons to practice new-found expertise. For the morning skills sessions, the Dirt Series travels with a truckload of obstacles to help riders get proficient with wheel lifts, switchback techniques, high speed cornering, manuals, jumps, drops, and bunny hops. Participants can choose between spending both afternoons on Fernie Mountain Bike Park’s downhill and free-ride trails, both days on the surrounding cross-country trails, or one day in each environment. Incentive for Downhill Diva Members: The Dirt Series wants to extend an invitation to Downhill Diva Members. For the first time this year we are offering group discounts. To register and receive a 10% discount, go to www.dirtseries.com and register for the Fernie camp. At the end of the Registration Form in the Promotion code box write GROUPDISCOUNTX and you will receive 10% discount off of the regular price. In the Company name box, please write Downhill Diva. Background: Known as the finest traveling bike camp on earth, the Dirt Series by Rocky Mountain Bicycles fills up year after year. It provides a fantastic opportunity for riders who want to have more fun riding by visiting new places and learning new skills from the best instructors in the sport. Fernie’s camp has lined up the top veteran Dirt Series coaches, as well as Rocky Mountain Pro Rider Geoff Gullevich. The Dirt Series also travels with their own fleet of Rocky Mountain demo bikes for those who would like to test some new bike technology. They also provide Crankbrothers pedals and Joplin adjustable seat posts, as well as women’s specific and unisex Race Face armor, for those who want to try it out. In addition, Rocky Mountain Bicycles is offering a $300 gift certificate to anyone signed up for a 2009 Dirt Series camp and interested in purchasing a new Rocky Mountain bike. Each certificate is valid all season long, and can be redeemed at any other official Rocky Mountain dealer in either the U.S. or Canada. Cost is $325 per person and includes two full days of instruction, demo equipment, lunch each day and prizing. Lift tickets are discounted for camp participants to $24 per day. Accommodation packages are being offered through Fernie Alpine Resort.

Dirt Series is certainly a good camp - I was pretty happy with the one that I did in Canmore last year. Good luck with your registration!

We won't be arriving until late tomorrow night so we're not able to ride tomorrow.
On another note, Mt Fernie campground called me today and us four families (Dave/Maddy, Sean/Callie, us, and Shane/T) are on the joint sites again. Should be good times! The beers are chillin', the weather looks wicked and I bet the trails are F I N E fine!
